Case

AT THE END OF A GOVERNMENT SOLAR BONUS INCENTIVE SCHEME, NEW SOUTH WALES HOUSEHOLDS AND BUSINESSES WITH SMALL-SCALE SOLAR SYSTEMS WERE FACING A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE BENEFITS ON OFFER THROUGH THEIR SOLAR SYSTEMS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LANDIS+GYR, ACUMEN METERING ROLLED OUT A NEW SMART METER, DESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE BENEFITS FOR ORIGIN ENERGY’S CUSTOMERS, BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE SCHEME ENDED.

ACUMEN METERING

Acumen Metering is accredited by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) as a metering services provider and is fully owned by Australia’s leading energy retailer, Origin Energy. It delivers market-leading electricity and water metering services.

SUPPORTING SOLAR PROSUMERS IN AUSTRALIA

The solar bonus incentive scheme provided a defined feed-in tariff for eligible customers with small-scale solar or wind generators connected to the grid, for a fixed period that ended in 2016. To continue generating and using solar power in the home and export excess power to the grid, customers with gross metering were usually better off switching to net metering. Origin Energy offered to upgrade its customers to Smart Meters to implement this change.

LANDIS+GYR SOLUTION: FIRST OF ITS KIND

Landis+Gyr developed a tailored Smart Metering solution for Acumen Metering that enabled a seamless automatic transition from gross to net metering and still allows the solar system generation to be separately measured. Unlike other options in the market, where two meters were required, Landis+Gyr’s solution consists of a single, innovative Smart Meter that measures both gross and net household energy use, including hot-water energy consumption and solar generation. In addition to protecting its customers’ solar investment, the solution provides Origin Energy with the tools to increase consumer engagement, by offering timely and granular insights to customers on their energy usage and generation.
